THEY begin with shadowy footsteps, confiscated books. Eerie towers survey the coast; savage mobs stalk the countryside destroying artworks - and those who resist. THEY capture dissidents - writers, painters, musicians, even the unmarried - in military sweeps, 'curing' them of individual identity. Survivors gather together as cultural refugees, preserving their crafts, creating, loving and remembering. But THEY make it easier to forget ... A radical dystopian classic lost for over forty years.
